According to Freedom House’s Freedom of the Press index, only 14 percent of the world's citizens live in countries that enjoy a free press. In the rest of the world, governments control the viewpoints that reach citizens and repress independent voices.
As part of its examination of the novels Fahrenheit 451 and Animal Farm, Mr. Fishon's 9th grade Honors English class researched press freedoms (or the lack thereof) in nations that Freedom House considers "not free." Students randomly chose nations and researched a specific country's current events, constitution, media and free speech heroes.
The nations on this wiki are just a few of the over 65 countries that are considered to not have a free press.
